Brand Story
If there are 100 players, 100 different shafts are needed.
That is Fujikura's fitting philosophy.
Fujikura Rubber Industries, Ltd. (Fujikura) was founded in 1901. Starting with the manufacture of rubber products, the company began manufacturing carbon golf shafts in 1974. Fujikura's main shaft series is the "Speeder" series. In particular, the "Speeder EVOLUTION" series, which began sales in 2014, has become a very popular shaft, boasting the top share in the domestic women's tour for the past several years, and achieved the No. 1 usage rate in the 2014 season. On the men's tour, the "Speeder Evolution" also received high praise, with winners emerging after its introduction. It has now attracted attention even from players who had previously shown no interest.
Features of "TRAVIL Iron"
・Introducing a new iron shaft that focuses on the landing angle, an essential element for stopping the ball where you want it.
Through extensive testing by numerous tour professionals, we were able to commercialize a product with high levels of both landing angle and feel.
By compositing carbon, metal, and rubber, we meticulously control the smooth feel and snap back.
Achieve a trajectory that allows you to aim from above.
・The landing angle is a crucial factor for stopping the ball where you want it.
In addition to spin rate and launch angle, it is one of the elements that has become clear with the spread of launch monitors in recent years.
Tour professionals prioritize landing angle when aiming for the green.
What kind of shaft is needed to aim from above?
That's where the development of TRAVIL began.
・Through extensive testing at tournament venues with many male and female domestic tour players, we narrowed down over 30 types of prototypes.
We commercialized the one that had the best feel and increased the landing angle by an average of 1.1 degrees compared to the clubs used.
・Adopting Tour Ability Structure, while suppressing rigidity at the grip end and increasing rigidity at the tip. The shaft's tenacity enhances head controllability and creates a shaft that can "aim for the green and stop" with a gentle angle of attack.
＜PRGR Iron Strongest Combo＞
An "iron combo set" simply refers to a club setup that combines different models of irons within a single set.
In the past, it was common to "have the same model from 5-iron to PW," but in recent years, even among tour professionals,
"Easy-to-hit long to mid-irons, and short irons focused on workability"
has become the mainstream way of using them.
1. Why are "combo sets" becoming popular?
There are two main reasons.
These are "the evolution of ball performance" and "changes in green conditions."
Increased difficulty of long irons
Modern golf balls are evolving towards reduced spin to improve distance performance.
As a result, with conventional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, it's becoming harder for the ball to get airborne even with a pro's head speed, and insufficient spin often makes it difficult to stop the ball on the green.
Shift in role from "distance" to "stopping"
For professionals, long irons (4-5 iron) are not just about gaining distance.
They are clubs for aiming at the pin with a high trajectory and stopping the ball firmly on the green.
Therefore, there's an increasing trend to combine highly forgiving models for long to mid-irons, which feature thicker sole designs and hollow structures.
2. If you're building with PRGR? Recommended combo
PRGR's 01-02 series is actually a lineup that makes building combo settings very easy.
Classic Athlete Combo: 01 × 02
・4-6 iron: 02 IRON (easy to hit for high trajectory and distance)
・7 iron-PW: 01 IRON (emphasis on workability and feel)
Key points
Since the flow combines the 7-iron of 01 (loft 32°) with the 6-iron of 02 (28°),
a natural loft progression and a combo setting with minimal difference in feel is possible without discomfort.
